  • First Online:
Advanced Deep Learning for Engineers and Scientists

Abstract

The applications of deep learning extend to many aspects of daily life and are not confined to the domains of computer science alone. From face recognition to the smart grid domain, deep learning has proved itself to be an effective tool in producing state-of-the-art results. This chapter discusses how the usage of a high-level language like Python and its compatibility with deep learning frameworks and its collection of utility libraries facilitates practitioners in the development process. The chapter further dwells into details of the implementation of deep learning techniques applied to different applications, namely, facial recognition, fingerprint recognition, character recognition, smart grids, and renewable energy, by providing a brief history of how the technology has influenced the domain and details regarding the common datasets used as well as a code implementation in Python thoroughly covering the different steps.
